Thanks to all of you that answered...... I was pretty sure ReiserFS was the way to go......but wanted to here somebody elses more experienced viewpoint before deciding for sure. Later today I will reinstall Mandrake 8.1 with reiser fs and go from there. I bought the 8.1 boxed set and found several nice programs that aren't on the 8.2 download set and i don't have 8.2 yet anyway.. :)
Thanks again for all your help and suggestions. One more question for those following the thread........ Why doesn't mandrake install reiserfs by default for desktop use........ i realize that ext2 is probably better for servers...... but if you choose just desktop options..... i would think that you would want a fast/stable/easy to recover from file system for newbie's......... at least for the desktop .............??? Thanks again, Dave. **************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Brinkman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2002 7:55 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Reiser FS file system - a good choice?? > On Sunday 12 May 2002 06:40 am, Michael Adams wrote: > > Running XFS here, Mandrake has done Xtensive, Xhuastive testing > > ;-) of all the journalling file systems and XFS came in as the > > overall winner.
